    Default Some early 3-wheel vehicle history

    Came across a book a while back with some neat photos of vintage automobiles, including early 3-wheel 'cycle cars', as they were referred to. Thought others might also enjoy seeing some fore-runners of our modern day Slingshots and Spyders. "Veteran and Vintage Cars"; photo credits to B T Batsford Ltd., and The Viking Press, Inc.

    Default Thanks .....

    Have a few myself ( pictures that is) and run across some at car events and rydes. After the debate with the introduction of the Slingshot they have now classified them as "Auto Cycles" to keep the motorcycle DOT specifications.... Nice pic's

    In England and Europe, among other parameters, vehicles were taxed on the amount of wheels, hence a proliferation of 3 wheel cars.

    I keep telling people that Spyder's aren't "Reverse" trike, the GWs and Harley's are.
